the shifters in the 6spds are very floppy, when i test drove mine i thought it had a broken tranny mount but its just the way they are. as far as noise mines pretty loud inside compaired to a car but its not horrible. do you have a rubicon? they have a little more noise/vibration dur to the tires

No, I have the "X" with 17" tires. I feel like when on the highway, with the top on, it's a little taxing. I cant tell if it;s the tires humming, or the wind, or the engine...But something is causing a bit fo noise, and a bit of vibration...It may be normal....

One thought. It's not unusual for the tires to be out of balance, especially if the one you bought sat on the lot for a long time (at least that's what the GM of a Jeep dealership who I know told me). Take it back to the dealer and tell them about the problem and don't accept that "it's normal".

Not sure who the question is directed to but I have the new JK, a GMC Yukon 4x4, and a GMC Sierra 3500 diesel dually 4x4. The JK is not as quite as either of the other two vehicles with the Freedom top on but it is a lot quieter than my previous TJ. Hope that helps.

Here's a dumb question. Are you on the highway, hauling ass? The first time I took my jeep on the tollway I felt the same way. It felt like it was all over and noisey. Now, not a problem at all. I have a rubi, I know the tires are louder and it was brand spankin new. I got a few thousand miles on it now and I don't notice this anymore. It drives smooth, I don't feel odd on the tollway either. It took alittle getting use to, I drove a malibu and expedition prior.

Go drive a few jeeps if you really think it is off, good way to compare.
